FACILITIES + EQUIPMENT
Six CNC machining centers, in-house metrology, and robotic lights-out production — from first-article prototypes to flight hardware.
Bozeman CNC is a family-owned aerospace & defense machine shop in Belgrade, Montana. 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling plus mill-turn, backed by precision turning, surface grinding, in-house CMM and vision metrology, and robotic automation for lights-out production — with full digital traceability on every part.
Every job comes down to four questions about your part — how big, what material, how fast, and how exact. Here is where we stand on each.
Small, intricate turned-and-milled components run on the mill-turn; large plates, housings and structural brackets go to the big verticals; and anything with critical angled features is finished in one setup on 5-axis.
Aerospace metals through engineering plastics, with material certifications and full traceability on every order.
Fast and predictable. Robotic machine tending keeps spindles cutting after hours, and a fully paperless shop flow keeps every job scheduled and visible from quote to shipment — so quick-turn prototypes stay quick and production ships on the date we commit to.
Tight-tolerance work held and proven in-house. 5-axis and Swiss machining verified on Keyence optical and CMM metrology under an AS9100D quality system — first articles ship with ballooned AS9102 reports and complete material traceability.
A deliberate mix of envelope, speed, and precision — larger 3-axis work, true 5-axis and mill-turn for complex geometry, high-speed cells, and dedicated metrology, all set up for robotic machine tending and unattended runs.
Shines at: one-and-done setups. Complex contours and critical true-position features machined complete in a single clamping — no re-fixturing, no stack-up error, more accuracy.
Shines at: the big stuff. Larger housings, plates and brackets — two identical machines run in parallel for throughput and redundancy.
Shines at: large flat-plate work in aluminum and plastic — and it is exceptionally accurate. Fine features, thin walls and engraving across a 40 × 33 in bed.
Shines at: fast-cycle production milling, drilling and tapping — short chip-to-chip times keep unit cost down.
Shines at: volume. Large production quantities turned and milled complete in a single setup, bar-fed for continuous, unattended run time.
Super-precision turned parts and exceptional surface finishes on small-diameter work.
Ground flats, parallels and in-house tooling and fixtures held to fine tolerance.
Fast, repeatable, operator-independent dimensional inspection for first articles and in-process checks.
Coordinate measurement and GD&T on large or complex parts — taken to the part, anywhere on the floor.
Meet Wilson — yes, named after the one from Cast Away. He keeps the crew company on the night shift and tends machines so parts keep cutting after hours: more spindle time, steadier lead times, no second shift. And unlike the first Wilson, this one isn't going anywhere.
Family-owned, with people who truly care about their work. You deal directly with the machinists on the shop floor — the people who read your print and take it personally that every part ships right.
We are problem solvers who love a challenge. We're passionate about manufacturing, and about putting the latest technology to work to achieve quality and precision above expectation.
Deliberate investment in state-of-the-art machinery and automation: 5-axis and Swiss mill-turn, 60,000-rpm high-speed milling, robotic machine tending for lights-out runs, in-house optical and CMM metrology, and a paperless shop from quote to ship.
